GHOST OF THE UCHIHA // ENOUGH (PASSIONFRUIT) Lyrics

Wake up to reality!

The longer you live

The more you realize that

The only things that truly exist

In this reality

Are merely

Pain suffering and futility

Listen

Everywhere you look in this world

Wherever there is light there will always be

Shadows to be found as well

As long as there is concept of victors

The vanquished will also exist

I am

The Ghost of the Uchiha

"Had a poem here somewhere called "Enough"

That I'd like to do

Because every once in a while

A brother gets shot somewhere for no reason

A brother gets his head kicked in for no reason

And you wonder just exactly what in the hell is enough"

"I used to pat myself on the back for not being too black after all"

"The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates war"

When you realize that the blinders

Have been stripped from my eyes

And I realize that slavery was no

Smiling happy fizzies party

Your ancestors raped

My foremothers

And I will not forget

"And hatred is born in order to protect love"

(SOUL)

It was not enough that we were bought

And brought in this home of the slaves

Watching those we loved

Eaten away

By plague and insanity

Bones rotting

Turning first to brittle ivory

Then to resin

That was not enough

Every time I see a rope or gun

I remember

And to top it all off

You ain't through yet

That doesn't even begin to begin

All of those you have maimed

Hit and run over blinded poisoned

Starved or castrated

​

I hope you do not think that a vote

For John Kennedy took you off my shit list

I think of you morning noon and night

And I wonder just exactly

What in hell is enough– enough

I cannot conceive of on peace on earth

until I have given you a piece of lead or pipe

To end your worthless motherfucking existence

Your ancestors raped my foremothers–

What the hell IS enough?

I will not forget at Yale or Harvard or

Princeton or in Hell

Because you are on my mind

I see you every time my woman walks down the street

With her ass on her shoulders

And evidently

Years of slavery did not appease

Your need to be superior to something

There will be no Democrats Republicans

Liberals Conservatives Moderates

Or any of the rest of that shit you have used

To make me forget to hate

There ain't no enough there ain't no surrender

There is only plot and plan

Move and groove

KILL

There is no promised land

There is only the promise

The promise is

That until we have been nerve-gassed

Shot down and murdered

Look over your shoulder motherfucker

I am coming

Every good gift and

Every perfect gift

Is from above

Coming down

From the Father

Of lights

With whom there

Is no variation or shadow

Due to change

Of his own will

He brought us forth

By the word of truth

That we should be a kind

Of firstfruits of his creatures

Know this my beloved brothers:

Let every person be quick to hear

Slow to speak slow to anger;

For the anger of man

Does not produce

The righteousness of

God

GIL SCOTT HERON:

Enough!
